I know you hate the fact that the pregnancy was written in. So, tell us your ideal finale.

Anyone else who wants to post their ideas, go ahead.

First, I would've made it a two parter. Secondly, I would give Michael a better finale than what he had.

It seems like the show was rushed. Everything happened in the last 5 minutes.

I agree, a two-parter. I always felt that. Too rushed. Yes, Michael getting a scholorship or something pertaining to school. I mean, all we heard in the first seasons was how he was going to be someone, a lawyer, a supreme court justice, etc. Maybe getting an internship at a law office or something.

I would have had Thelma talk about going to school and then the pregnancy could come into play. Also, let us the audience actually see Keith and his agents negotiating a deal and let is see Thelma at the doctor with the news about her being pregnant. I wanted to see the doctor tell Keith that his knee was better. This should have been a three part finale or even two parts. At least it got a better ending than Archie Bunker's Place. With the programs running for 13 years, you would have thought that CBS would have allowed them to wrap up with some shows for the next season. The Jeffersons just diappeared. Can you imagine the finale being advertised?

Announcer: "George, Tom. Their Granddaughter and Girl Scout Cookies. Who will sell the most cookies? A can't miss finale."

The fact that Good Times had several two and three parters, it would only make sense to have the finale be one as well. What a big mistake the producers did.

the show was originally created to show how real life was in the ghetto
yes it was funny, but it dealt with reality and it hit home

like when james died, it felt real

the finale was too phony, SUDDENLY all at once, great things happened to everyone

just unrealistic and stupid

i would have liked to see it end realistically or with some bite to it

like perhaps, with the wedding and all, something happens and michael gets shot and killed and they are reminded, that no matter what, the ghetto aint fun

or maybe the job fell through for 1 of them at the end, and they were still stuck in poverty

if would have been bittersweet and made u think
instead of the lame-o finale that made no sense at all

All the characters would have had some type of plan on where they were headed and I defintely wouldn;t have had the Evans and Willona living in the same building because that wouldn't be closing out the series. And yes the Pregnancy was dumb because the show was ending not coming back for another season

I hate the fact that they had Florida go and live with Keith and Thelma. I think that they should've had her finally getting out of the projects on her own.

I would have kept the Keith,Thelma, JJ and Wilona story line. I also would have made it a two parter so that we could actually see where everyone would have lived.

And Bookman would have stayed in the projects :lol:

Why would we need to see where they lived if he show was returning for another season? You only do that when you are setting up the stoyline for the next season

Because we would have finally had a chance to see them actually out of the ghetto.

Also I would have had James return :lol: Have a Bob Newhart ending.

perhaps winning the lottery at the beginning of the ep and watch them move on up. There really isn't much they could have done

It would have only made sense to see them out of the Ghetto if the show was coming back for another season and it would have had the Evans in a Better Neighborhood during the 1980's Decade

Maybe to you, that's why I said "I think that they should've...."

Then you would have been left hanging as a Viewer-lol

I don't think so, it would have been a great ending to actually see everyone out of the projects. Hence the words "TWO PARTER"

No I would have had James come back. I would have had them throw and house warming party. And the last scene would have been of James and Florida saying good night to Wilona, JJ, Thelma, Keith and Micheal as they all leave to go their separate ways leaving Flo and James alone in their own place finally.

The first parter would have been of Flo waking up next to James saying that she dreamt about everything that happened from seasons 4-6 :lol:

I could have sworn you said James and Florida would have said Good Night to the Kids and would have been home alone FINALLY-lol

Look at my post that's #16, I said EVERYONE gets out.

they should have ended the show with DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!!!
the series BEST MOMENT was when james died
leave it at that
and have it end on a bittersweet moment---
james is dead, they are still in the ghetto, but they will make it through somehow
and end with some class

Because we would have finally had a chance to see them actually out of the ghetto.

Also I would have had James return :lol: Have a Bob Newhart ending.
:brent I love it!!!!!
